Burst transmission
|
|
In telecommunication, the term burst transmission has the following meanings:
1. transmission that combines a very high data signaling rate with very short transmission times - i.e. the message is compressed. This is popular with the military and spies, who wish to minimise the chance of their radio transmissions being detected.
2. Operation of a data network in which data transmission is interrupted at intervals.
Note: Burst transmission enables communications between data terminal equipment (DTEs) and a data network operating at dissimilar data signaling rates. Synonym data burst.
